The Lowdown
Right, so it’s been a bit quiet to start, but things look like they’re about to kick into gear. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Jaconé.
We’ve got a stretch of solid, clean swell on the way, and the standout window is the first few days. Tuesday the 14th is where it gets interesting. The water temperature is sitting around 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Early Tuesday morning, you’re looking at a 5ft set from the South, with a period pushing 11 seconds. That’s packing some proper energy. And the best part? The wind is glassy – that light westerly, 3 mph – it’s going to be smooth as glass out there. That’s the pick of the week right there. Expect very good surf conditions.
As we move through Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps up a touch to 6ft from the SSE, but the wind swings SE and goes cross, making it a bit less clean. The energy’s still there, but it’s not the pristine morning session.
Wednesday morning the 15th looks great too. Still a solid 6ft from the SSE, period at 10 seconds, and now we get a proper offshore from the NE at 9 mph. That’s going to clean it right up. The energy is still strong. The afternoon sees the wind pick up from the East at 16 mph, turning cross-offshore, but it’s still surfable. This pattern of clean, offshore mornings with 5ft to 6ft swell sticks around through Thursday and Friday. Thursday morning the 16th is another beauty: 5ft from the SE, clean offshore NE wind.
We do get a bit of a drop-off into Saturday the 18th – the swell turns more ENE with a shorter period of just 7 seconds, so the energy drops. That’s still 6ft in the morning, but it’s a different, weaker-feeling wave. The following days from Sunday the 19th through to the end of the week are smaller, with a lot of 3ft to 5ft ENE swell and shorter periods. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about. There’s a notable jump on Thursday the 23rd, with a big 8ft SSW swell arriving, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy, and the energy is massive – that’s getting into expert-only territory, and with the onshore wind, it’s going to be a battle. Not the cleanest day.
Then we get another clean-up on Friday the 24th – a solid 5ft from the South with a 12-second period and a nice offshore NE wind. That’s a strong signal. The following weekend and into the next week we see a mix of smaller ENE and E swells, with some clean offshore mornings. Tuesday the 28th brings a real glassy morning with a tiny 3ft SSW groundswell at a very long 14-second period – that’s a super clean, long-period groundswell but it’s small.
Jaconé is a consistent spot, exposed to the SE, so it picks up a lot of what’s thrown at it. The standout for me is Tuesday the 14th, early morning. Glassy conditions, 5ft of groundswell from the S, and plenty of energy. That’s going to be the session to get wet for. Wednesday the 15th morning is a close second with the offshore wind.
Crowds can pop up here sometimes, so if you want it to yourself, those early starts on the clean days are the way to go.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
